MAXXHAUL Spare Tire Carrier Mount 50214 – Powder-Coated Angled Bracket for 4- & 5-Lug Trailers

The MAXXHAUL 50214 spare tire carrier is a powder-coated, angled mount that secures 4-lug (4 on 4") and 5-lug (5 on 4-1/2") trailer wheels to tongues up to 3" wide and 5" high for reliable trailer and boat transport.

When you need a durable, corrosion-resistant spare tire bracket for a utility or boat trailer, the MAXXHAUL 50214 offers a compact, raised mounting solution made to accept common 4- and 5-lug wheel patterns. Built with a powder coat finish and zinc-plated hardware, this carrier keeps a spare accessible without taking up valuable trailer deck space. It’s engineered for specific bolt patterns and tongue dimensions, so proper fitment ensures safe, easy installation and use.

Will this carrier fit my trailer wheel bolt pattern?

The 50214 supports two common bolt patterns: 4-lug wheels on a 4" bolt circle and 5-lug wheels on a 4-1/2" bolt circle. It is not compatible with less common patterns such as 4 on 4-3/4" or 5 on 5". Confirm your wheel’s bolt circle diameter before purchase to avoid mismatches.

• Accepts 4 on 4" bolt pattern wheels (4-lug)
• Accepts 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern wheels (5-lug)
• Not compatible with 4 on 4-3/4" or 5 on 5" bolt patterns

How and where does it mount on my trailer?

The bracket is designed to mount to trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide and 5 inches high, providing a raised and angled position that clears boat hulls and trailer components. Installation uses the included zinc-plated mounting hardware for a straightforward bolt-on attachment. Make sure tongue dimensions match the mounting limits and torque hardware to manufacturer specs.

• Fits trailer tongues up to 3" wide and 5" high
• Zinc-plated hardware included for mounting
• Raised and angled mount clears boats and trailer parts

Is this carrier resistant to rust and suitable for marine use?

The MAXXHAUL 50214 features a durable powder coat finish to protect the bracket against rust and corrosion from road salt and moisture. Combined with zinc-plated fasteners, the assembly is built for outdoor exposure and occasional marine environments. For extended saltwater exposure, rinse and inspect periodically to prolong finish life.

• Powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion
• Zinc-plated mounting hardware reduces corrosion risk
• Periodic rinsing recommended in saltwater environments

What practical advantages does the raised, angled design provide?

The angled, elevated mounting position keeps the spare off the trailer frame and away from wet or obstructed areas, making it easier to access and less likely to collect debris. This layout is especially helpful on boat trailers where clearance and hull contact are concerns. It also improves visibility and maintains usable deck space on utility trailers.

• Keeps spare clear of trailer frame and water spray
• Improves access to the spare tire when needed
• Preserves deck area and avoids hull interference on boat trailers

Who is this for: The MAXXHAUL 50214 is ideal for owners of utility and boat trailers who need a compact, corrosion-resistant spare tire mount that fits common 4- and 5-lug wheel patterns. It suits DIY installers and fleet users who value a raised, angled bracket to improve clearance and accessibility. Avoid this product if your wheel uses uncommon bolt patterns like 4 on 4-3/4" or 5 on 5" or if your tongue exceeds the stated dimensions.
